Instead of using the term "fluency" language learning growth is determined by measuring proficiency levels (what the learner can do with the language) as mentioned above. Each level in our TSD Dual Language Immersion program will have a set of language proficiency targets as we measure activities and assessments in the "three modes of communication" from the Colorado World Language Standards, using the fours skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing.

The three modes of communication from the Colorado World Language Standards

1. Communication: Communication in Languages Other Than English
1.1 Interpersonal mode:
Engage in conversations, provide and obtain information, express feelings and emotions, and exchange opinions
1.2 Interpretive mode:
Understand and interpret written and spoken language on a variety of topics
1.3 Presentational mode:
Present information, concepts, and ideas to an audience of listeners or readers on a variety of topics.
